Availability

I’m currently studying in a remote setting for graduate school, so I have free time in-between classes to take care of your fur baby. I have a large dog at home so I do not offer services at my place at this time. * Please note I cannot commit to long-term recurring walks at this time, and I apologize for the inconvenience. I will update my profile should this change in the future. *

Safety, trust & environment

I am respectful of your space and pay close attention to detail, so will adhere closely to any instructions you provide. I require a meet and greet for the comfort of you the owner, your pet, and myself prior to scheduling services.

Information Caroline J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s behaviors and any medical needs ahead of time. For walks, please let me know what their walking tendencies and preferences are (for example: pulls, prefers harness over collar, prefers certain routes, any fears of loud noises/certain objects, behaviors towards other dogs/animals/humans , etc). Please let me know of any dietary restrictions & whether or not you would like your dog crated after a walk, and if so, where in the home the crate is located. Please let me know how best to approach your pet upon entry to ensure a great experience for both of us, for example if your pet gets over-excited/cautious/ likes to dart outside.

A typical day

We will have lots of fun together, whether it’s playing with a favorite toy during a check-in or getting new smells in on a walk. In any case, there will be lots if pats involved!

Lifelong cat lover

Cat care experience

I’ve had cats in my life as far as I can remember. Throughout my life, I’ve taken care of my own cats and have sat for others as well, including routine feedings, litter box cleaning, and plenty of cuddles. I also have experience administering oral medications to cats. I have also taken care of feral cats. I love cuddling and playing with cats, but of course I certainly respect when a cat prefers their own space as well!

Caroline was great! She came for a meet and greet to meet our kitties before the drop in sessions. I forgot to provide instructions for the lockbox and she was easy to work with the clarify. She was caring and followed instructions for our kitties. Already rebooked :)
